Bonvivant Botanical Mellow Clay Mask Jeju Volcanic Mask

I got this as a kit of 3 clay masks for "rainbow masking" on hautelook for around $30. This was one of three clay masks. This clay mask specifically targets blackhead, oil production, and pore control. The mask is a jelly like consistency and feels cool when applying to the face. It doesn't dry out the skin and does a decent job at helping with clearing up the skin.  Overall, it’s a good clay mask. Just keep in mind, that Bonvivant has now been rebranded to I Dew Care. So if you want to try this mask get the I Dew Care Pure To The Pore Mask.

Ettang Modeling Take-Out Cup Pack Propolis

This is 1 of 8 cup packs. I believe the whole set cost about $26 dollars. I used this because I was having a problem with some breakouts at the time. Propolis has good anti-inflammatory properties and helps with healing problematic skin. You're supposed to mix water into the cup and use the spatula that's provided to apply it on the skin. The product has a more paste like consistency. It was difficult to apply  to the skin and dried to a rubery texture. Although this specific cup helped with reducing redness during my breakouts, I really didn't like the way it applied to my skin and felt. I'm not going to be repurchasing these.

Holika Holika Cheoeum : Balhyo Miracle Seed First Essence

I got this as a sample when I went to Korea. I love this stuff. I'm definitely going to have to purchase the full size of this. This essence smells lovely, feels nice on the skin, hydrates, and helped with the texture of my skin.

Mamonde Rose Water Soothing Gel

I got this at an Aritaum shop in San Gabriel for about $20. I ended up using this as a body moisturizer during the summer. It worked okay, but didn't absorb well and was sticky after it dried. It smelled like roses, but there is also an overwhelming smell of rubbing alcohol. I love some of the Mamonde Rose line, but this is not one of the products I will be repurchasing.

Neogen Code9 Lemon Green Caviar Essence Tox Tightening Pack

I got this in a bundle when memebox used to sell skin care. This has 25 dual ended pads. One side was like a netted mesh that helped with exfoliating and the other side was more of a smooth cotton surface that helped distribute the product onto your face. This particular pack smelled of lemon. I really liked these a lot for the nights that I was lazy or short on time with my skin care. This provides you benefits of a more elaborate skin care system in one single step. I will definitely repurchase from Neogen eventually.

Nivea Rich Nourishing Body Cream

I picked this up at Ross on a whim one day for like $7. It was fall/winter time and my body tends to dry out a significant amount. This is a very fragrant and thick cream. It is definitely a heavy duty moisturizer and a little goes a long way. However, because of the strong perfume scent, I didn't really enjoy this product as much and won't be repurchasing.

I tried to look up this product at www.cosdna.com, but couldn't find it listed.

Directions:

1. Squeeze pea size amount and lather into hands
2. Massage all over face.
3. Rinse with warm water.

Review:

Like I mentioned, I got this off of amazon and cost about $12.00. The cleanser is a  pretty pale teal/green tube with 175mL of product.

Mamonde Pore Deep Clean Foam Front

The product came out in a thick consistency and was a purple greyish color. The scent was what I assume was the lavender in the product. To be honest, I wasn't in love with the scent. I'm sure it probably smells good to other people, but for me personally, I thought it smelled okay.

For cleansers, I usually grab a small amount in my hands, rub it in my hands to create a nice lather, and then gently massage it into my face.  A little goes a long way for this product. I only needed a pea size amount to clean my entire face. This product gave a good and foamy lather, which I really like and typically look for in my cleansers.

"Swatch" of cleanser on hand. If you look closely, you can see a few of the beads.

What the cleanser looks like after using water and rubbing to lather it up.

You will notice upon lathering  that there are granules within the cleanser. The beads helped with exfoliating and smoothing out the skin. The beads are  harsh on my skin if I don't lather it in your hands first and then apply it to the face.  This cleanser really deep cleaned my skin. It removed ALL traces of dirt and makeup and gave a squeaky clean feeling without stripping away the moisture from my skin and making it dry.

There are good things about the product, but I won't repurchase this after I'm done. It does the job of cleaning your face, but it didn't wow me enough for me to make another purchase.

Overall:

Pros:	Cons:
*a little goes a long way, so this will last you a while *deep cleans your skin *doesn't strip away moisture from skin *lathers up nicely	*wasn't a fan of the smell
